Learn new career skills! Enrich your life! Pursue your passion!

Due to continuing effects of the COVID-19 pandemic, the Office of Non-Credit and Continuing Education at Temple University has shifted many of our course offerings to online instruction for the Fall 2021 semester. We believe that the safety of students and staff must be our first priority. While there are a few courses scheduled to be delivered on-campus, most courses will be delivered live, online via the Zoom platform. Questions? Contact us at ncce@temple.edu or 267-468-8500. 

The Office of Non-Credit and Continuing Education (ONCE) is committed to providing quality, professional, and accessible education, along with lifelong learning and training opportunities. Browse our Fall 2021 digital brochure.
